Post #2902764

This is my first year with JM's, and was wondering is this the time to prune/shape the trees? I have a couple of stray branches that I'd like to trim off, and one weeping variety that really needs some shaping. I thought I read/heard that in the fall/after the leaves are gone was the time to do any trimming, but I'd like to confirm. Thanks!
